From open cooking islands to custom-made country-style kitchens to compact kitchenettes: Kitchen Living presents exciting ideas for your own kitchen design and uses creative living examples to show how the kitchen can become the coziest and most exciting place in the home.

Regardless of whether you are planning small changes or a completely new kitchen, with the right materials and details, functional family kitchens can be transformed into cozy cooking temples and simple kitchen units can be transformed into true space miracles. In addition, Kitchen Living takes us through the creative kitchens of designers, gastro journalists and food photographers and inspires us to see the kitchen as the heart of our home with new eyes.
